Warman's Indian Club System 

ONE CLUB 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS 

Grasp the club firmly, but easily, the little finger rest- 
ing against the knob. As these exercises are intended 
for physical development and not for the purpose of dis- 
playing ** fancy" or ** snake movements" — very good 
in their way and for the purpose designed — it is advis- 
able and necessary that the knob of the club should never 
slip to the thumb and forefinger; neither should the 
thumb extend up the handle of the club. Place the idle 
arm at the side, with the back of the fingers resting 
gracefully against the side of the body. Do not allow 
the club to wabble. When a movement is made requir- 
ing the arm to be extended, hold the club firmly, yet as 
gracefully as if it were a part of that extension. Imagine 
that you are standing between perfect circles at right 
angles with each other — large and small on either side; 
large in front and small behind. The clubs should fol- 
low these lines perfectly in all the small circles and 
sweeps. 

Be satisfied to practice with one club until all the 
single moves have been mastered; the double moves 
will then be more readily attained, as they are combina- 
tions of the single. 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Practice each move separately, as shown in the illus- 
tration of the same. Learn the name of each move, and 
it will be helpful, inasmuch as it is suggestive. 

Do not be ambitious to handle heavy clubs. Judicious 
practice regularly taken with a pair of light clubs will 
prove more beneficial than spasmodic or overwork with 
heavy clubs. Stand firmly, but not rigidly. Place the 
feet in as graceful and comfortable a position as the 
nature of the movement will allow. Do not quite touch 
the heels, nor place them too far apart, when facinjr 3?* 
audience. 



INDIAN CLUB*. 




POSITION. 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Place the club in the hands, as shown in position. 
Toss the club a little higher than the head, placing the 
left hand against the side of the body, the back of the 
fingers touching the body. Pass the right hand back of 
the head at the right side, and allow the club to drop 
and form a complete small circle back of the head, which 
I designate as the small inward. Follow this movement 
with a full sweep of the arm in front toward the left 
side, bringing it up on the right to make two small 
inwards, etc., thus forming Fig. i.

Change — By taking the club again in the right hand 
as if to make a fourth outward, but instead make a small 
inward, passing it quickly behind the head to the left 
hand, which should be in position to grasp the club 
without stopping its motion. It will drop into a small 
outward circle with the left hand. Sweep it out and 
front, pass it again to the right hand.

Change — By extending the arm at the completion of 
the third small circle, as if to make a large side circle; 
then, just as the club is ready to sweep down, turn the 
body quickly back to the front position. Sweep the 
club in front, make a small outward with the left hand, 
and sweep it to the right. Place the right hand as shown 
in the illustration, and make small circles outside and 
inside the arm, keeping the arm extended as much as 
possible, and keep the club as near the arm as possible. 
Keep the little finger next to the knob.

CONDENSED FOR CONVENIENCE 

ONE CLUB 

Presupposing that the pupil has become familiar with 
all the movements; />.^ with the necessary ^^^^//s in 
the learning of each, I present herewith my system of 
exercises in a condensed form, as a reminder to the indi- 
vidual, or as an aid to the teacher in calling the move- 
ments to a class. 

The order of exercises, and the number of movements 
of each, are the same as I use for my classes in their 
public exhibitions. 

On the rostrum, at the close of my lecture on "Scien- 
Ufic Physical Training, or the Care of the Body, * * I aim 
not only to entertain, but to exemplify the principles set 
forth in my lecture, by giving, in appropriate costume, 
my entire system of Indian-club exercises — the clubs 
weighing eight pounds each. 

As a rule, I do not advocate the use of heavy clubs; 
but these, to me, do not seem heavy, having had them 
in use — privately and publicly — for thirty years. 

My plan of work is on the principle of ''cumulative 
strength " — the only true principle. Hence I advise the 
use of one club throughout the entire system of exercises ; 
then rest a moment before swinging the two clubs. 
Rest again, if desirable, at the close of the ''windmill," 
before concluding the entire system. 

By so doing 1 fmd no difficulty inclosing the evening's 
entertainment by a few movements with both clubs 
(16 lbs.) in one hand.

TWO CLUBS 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS 

When the clubs fall parallel in the same direction, they 
should drop simultaneously, and should not be separated 
from each other any greater distance during the move- 
ment than when the movement began. 

With the single exception of a ''follow" movement 
(the windmill. Fig. 12) both clubs should drop with 
the same impulse, even though they are making differ- 
ent movements. The slightest variation from this rule 
will destroy the gracefulness and beauty of the swinging. 

When facing front, avoid turning the body from side 
to side, except in Fig. i. Practice before a mirror, in 
order that every movement of the club may be seen 
while facing front. This will teach one to look at his 
audience, instead of turning his head and watching the 
clubs. Master your clubs instead of allowing them to 
master you. 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Take position by pointing the two clubs to the left, 
as shown in the illustration. Keep the palms of the 
hands up in order to steady the clubs. Toss both clubs 
up and out, sweeping them down in front of the body, 
and bringing them up to left side. Avoid angles. Toss 
them out and bringthem in as if describing an arc of a circle, 

N. B. — To take up the clubs artistically — which can- 
not be done until all of the movements shall have beep 
learned — see page 68. 




Point left— Sweep. Point right— Sweep (three times each). 
«« " Halt. 



INDIAN CLUBS, 



39 



Change — By halting at position and making a small 
outward with the left, and a full sweep with the right; 
both clubs dropping simultaneously. The club in the 
right hand makes a large revolution, while the one in 
the left makes a small one.

them both to the right side and halt only long enough 
to make a small outward with the right and a full sweep 
with the left; thus alternating the movement from si(^^

Change — By sweeping the clubs back to the left side 
and halting the club in the left hand at poise i ; but pass 
the right club up in front of the face and push it back of 
the head, letting it drop as if to make an inward. In- 
stead of making a small circle, push it to the right, as 
shown in the illustration. As the right club drops be- 
hind the head, the left club sweeps in front toward the 
right side. The clubs now change position — the left 
club is pushed back of the head, and the right club 
sweeps in front.

on the left side. Turn the left club to an outward, 
while the right club passes down in front and sweeps up 
on the right side, making a small inward and push — as 
in the backward drop. It then sweeps down in front 
and is pushed back of the head, making a backward 
drop and push, while the left club is making an out- 
ward.

Change— By converting the backward push and drop 
of the right club, to an outward and sweep. When the 
club is pushed right the third time, instead of dropping 
it in front, turn it immediately to an outward. The left 
club makes no change but continues making the out- 
ward and sweep.

club also reverses its movement, making a sweep, fol- 
lowed by a small inward. One club is making an in-

sweeps in front. By the time the small inward is fin- 
ished with the right hand, the left will be in place for a 
small outward. The clubs now join, and make another 
double circle back of the head.

Change— By pushing the left club up and out from the 
shoulder, while hastening the right in front, and making 
a full sweep, till — without halting either club — the right 
club is exactly opposite the left, just after the right 
passes the feet — both arms extended. The clubs should 
now follow each other, but neither catch the other. 
The right hand makes an inward and sweep, while the 
left is following with a sweep and outward.

circle. Sweep both in front with one impulse, and pass 
them back over the head to a small circle, as shown by 
the position of the clubs in Fig. lo. Follow this with a 
small side-circle (Fig. 21). Pass the clubs gracefully 
under the arms (Fig. 24). Keep them there till you 
have made your bow and exit.

arms. With the first note of the music unfold the arms, 
raise the hands above the head and sweep them down 
to the side. Bend the body, take the clubs with suffi- 
cient impulse to sweep them a short distance back. 
Straighten the body, and this will give the clubs an im- 
pulse forward. Sweep them up high enough in front 
to make small side-circles (Fig. 17), then small circles 
back of the head (Fig. 10), then, turning the body 
quickly to the left, make small side-circles (Fig. 21),

INTRODUCTION. 



?hyslcal culture is a subject on which volumes yet remain to bt 

written before its necessities are fully grrasped or generally undor- 
stood. 

Professors of the art have increased and multiplied throughout tha 
country and yet doctors, hospitals and cemeteries are as liberally 
patronized as in the dark ages. 

Certain favored classes have made a practical study of the subject 
and reaped golden benefits. Students have had its theory and prac- 
tice drilled into them at college and have come forth into the battle 
of life with the physique of gladiators. Elaborately fitted gymnas- 
iums have sprung up in every city and developed specimens of man- 
hood which an Olympian champion might envy. This progress is 
cheering as far as it goes : 

But how far does it go? 

The classes have undoubtedly mastered the subject, but hare the 
masses been benefited? 

Take any one of the thousands of young men who scramble out to 
business in New York or any other large city every day after bolting 
a nominal and tasteless breakfast, and ask him about his health and 
habits. The answer will only vary as regards his freeedom oi 
otherwise from actual disease. Beyond this he knows nothing on 
the subject. His habits, he will assure you, are quite regular. He 
rides direct to his business every morning ; stands at his desk, or 
counter or case for ten or twelve mortal hours at a stretch ; rides 
direct home again, bolts his supper, reads the paper and goes to bed. 

Is this man living, in the true sense of the word? 

No I He is slowly but surely decaying, without ever having 
bloomed. 

He has occasionally thought of joining a gymnasium or athletic 
club but never found the spare time. He has perhaps taken a cursory 
glimpse through some learned essay, lecture, or intricate work on 
physical culture and was momentarily impressed but did not see 
how it affected him personally. 

It is principally for such men this little treatise is compiled. They 
can grasp its theories during the homeward ride and practically mti 



']t INTKODUCTION. 

tofy themselves in a quarter of an hour after rising: in the morning 
®r before going to bed at night that the great secret is theirs. 

The only artificial outfit needed is a pair of Indian clubs and dumb 
bells-. With these, a spark of healthy manliness and ambitious en- 
thusiasm, a man can accomplish as much in an attic bedroom, or on 
the roof in mild weather, as will transform him in the course of a 
year. 

But a youth may argue, as one did recently with the writer "The 
investment would feed me for a week." 

Granted ; but there is no visible improvement in the body at the 
end of a week's, or even a years's, liberal board. 

The toiler goes out patiently day after day and week after week 
to drudge— for what— a living. 

All the necessaries and luxuries he can stuff himself with from steak 
to ice cream in a life time won't make him feel what it is to be alive 
like rational exercise of those parts of his system which have to lie 
dormant during his business. 

God may have created him to earn his bread by the sweat of his 
brow to the bitter end, but that does not justify him in neglecting 
the symmetry of the Image he represents. 

Better to aim at having "a combination and a form indeed where 
every god did seem to set his seal to give the world assurance of a 
man." 

In a country like ours, says Professor Blaikie in his admirable 
work, where the masses are so intelligent, where so much care is 
taken to secure what is called a good education, the ignorance as to 
what can be done to the body by a little systematic physical educa- 
tion is simply marvelous. 

Few persons seem to be aware that any limb, or any part of it, can 
be developed from a state of weakness and deficiency to one of full- 
ness, strength and beauty, and that equal attention to all the limbs, 
and to the body as well, will work a like result throughout. 

One of the most effective and agreeable means of attaining these 
objects is 



CLUB-SWINGING. 



There is a fascination about this exercise that grows on one with 
his proficiency. The exertion or strain is rarely felt after the 
primary motions are mastered. As soon as the beginner realizes 
that the tendency of the club, from its special formation, is to 
describe a circle, if not prematurely checked in its course, he has 
crossed the only stumbling block. After that he has only to think 
of a movement, and, as a practical instructor puts it, "the clubs do 
the rest." 

The present generation is the first which had an opportunity of 
enjoying the exercise in this country. It will not, however, be the 
last, as the Indian club, unlike many equally modern innovations, 
has come to stay. Its title indicates its origin. When the Britishers 
proceeded to civilize, and incidentally to annex, India, they were 
surprised to find the natives marvelously expert in swinging clubs 
in various graceful and fantastic motions. 

The English officers were not slow to recognize the superior de- 
velopment of those most addicted to the pastime. One of them alludes 
to the then novelty as follows-: "The wonderful club exercise is one 
of the most effectual kinds of athletic training. The clubs are of 
wood from four to twenty pounds, and in length about two feet and 
one half." 

"The exercise is in great repute among the native soldiery, police, 
and others whose caste renders them liable to emergencies where 
great strength of muscle is desirable. The evolutions vdiich the 
clubs are made to perform, in the hands of experts, are exceedingly 
graceful." 

"Besides the great recommendation of simplicity the Indian club 
practice possesses the essential property of expanding the chest and 
exercising every muscle of the body concurrently." 

The club exercise soon after was introduced into the British army 
as part of the drill. In due course its popularity spread to this coun- 
try and its use may now be described as universal. Indeed, the en- 
thusiast was about right who exclaimed, "No home is properly fur- 
nished without at least a pair."

THE PRINCIPLES OF CLUB SWINGING. Fig, 1. 

In the engraving the black spots represent the handle of the clul 
and the centre of the circle made by the end of the club in going around 
The hand being held nearly stationary. 

The lines at the feet of the figure, show the manner of varying tht 
movements by swinging in front, behind, at the side and diagonal to 
the front of the body. 

Any circle done in one direction can be reversed and swung in the 
opposite direction. 

Any circle done while the hand is held in any of the nine positions 
can be done with the hand at any of the other positions. 

By understanding this, and the proper method of combining the 
circles into double movements, the pupil will be able to iuye&t combl' 
aaUo&8 iiieludlug any two er all the eirotos* 



CLUB SWINGIKS. 7g 

Accuracy is of the utmost importance in the practice of the exer- 
eises described in this book. This should be thoroughly understood 
as no skill can be acquired when the movements are done in a careless 
or awkward manner. 

It would perhaps be better to first practice the movements with- 
out the clubs, turning the arm and wrist n the proper manner until 
the idea is perfectly clear, then proceed the club. 

Inselectingclubs the begi' inershoiilo.be careful not to get them 
too heavy for the difficult moveme ts ; l ub which can be held at 
arms length and made describe a wri t circle, is Dest, and the exercise 
which would be obtained by continuing their use a moment or two 
longer would be more beneficial than the strain of swinging a heavy 
one a shorter time. 

It is best to learn the names of the different circles and movements, 
as it gives a much clearer understanding of them than could be secured 
otherwise. In the single movements the es describe the circle it- 
self. In the double, the name indicates movement by showing the 
relation the arms bear to each other in completing a circle. 

In practicing, stand erect, expand the best, square the shoulder* 
and slightly elevate the chin, look straight to the front, lean a little for 
ward so as have the weight centre on the balls of the feet, have th< 
heels two inches apart with the toes spread at an angle of forty five 
degrees. If there is a line in the floor or carpet, it would be well to 
stand facing it; make the club follow this line as nearly as possible. 

First bring the club to the starting position, with the hand opposite 
the right breast, the elbow pressed to the side, the knuckles turned 
out and the club extended vertically. 

Start every Circle or Movement from this position. When only 
one club is used let one arm hang pendant at the side. If a Straight- 
Arm circle is to be done, elevate the club at arms length to a point 
directily above, then proceed. 

First make the club describe an inner-circle, that is, start it toward 
the head or centre of the body. Then describe the same circle at the 
side, that is, at right angles with the line. Then the same digonally 
with the line, next describe the same circle in tlie opposite direction 
or outer, starting away from the h .ad or body, and so on through the 
three circles as before. Then try another circle the same, and as soon 
as all the single circles have been mastered take both clubs and pro- 
ceed in the same manner. 

If at first the club wrenches the wrist in making the circles, try some 
other way of holf^iag it as the whole secret of doing the difficult 
movements is ic. ne manner ux which the club is held in the hand.

BENT-ARM CIRCLES, BACK. Fig. 3 and 4. 

Hold the club in the starting position, raise the arm and drop the 
club over the shoulder, make a complete circle behind the back, and 
repeat. Allow the wrist perfect freedom, do not hold the club too tight 
as it will make the movement awkward. In the inner circle let the 
hand pass from the top of the head to the back of the neck. 

With the right hand drop the club to the right for the outer circle 
and to the left for the inner circle, and the reverse with the left hand. 

Endeavor to swing the club squarely, and let the evolutions be per- 
pendicular and parallel to the line ui the floor. 

The only difference between the inuttr and outer circles is tiie di- 
rection of swinging them.

HORIZONTAL-CIRCLES Fig. 16. 
For the Outer Horizontal circle, hold the club at arms length on a 
line with the shoulder. Pass the arm to the front, giving the club a halt 
turn outward so that the end of it will be under the chin, complete 
the circle with the club, passing the arm to the opposite side, then back 
in the same manner. Understand that the arm makes only a half circle 
while the club makes one and a half. 

For the Inner Horizontal, turn the club in towards the face and a- 
cross to the opposite side, the arm moving as before. Make a half circle 
with both arm and club. 

This movement can be varied by making the club describe the 
circle on a line over the head, keep it horizontal as before. 

Finish with the lower half of the straight-arm circle.

by the ao felon of the hand and wrist. Reverse, swinging with the other 
hand. 



DOUBLE MOVEMBKTS. 97 



The double movements are simply FOUR different ways of com- 
bining the single circles. 

The circles described comprise all there is to club swinging. When 
they are thoroughly mastered with either hand so as to be swung either 
to the right or left, forward or backward and the same diagonal, they 
can with ingenuity and patience, be formed into an endless variety of 
beautiful, intricate and difficult evolutions, by combining the circles. 

Any number of circles can be formed into one combination by 
counting while practicing. 

In Single Time, count one for the circle of both hands. That ia 
in making a straight-arm PARALLEL Fig. 23, or CROSS movement 
Fig. 24, count 1, add a bent arm circle, count it 2, viz, 1-2, 1-2, etc. 

In Double Time, count one for each circle of each hand. That is, 
in making a straight-arm FOLLOW movement, Fig. 25, count it 1 and 2, 
add a bent-arm circle, count it 3 and 4, viz. 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, etc. Always 
count as many numbers as there are circles in the combination. 

The REVERSE movement Fig. 26, can be done either in single or 
double time, 

The best method for learning the double movements is as follows. 
Hold the clubs in the starting position, go through the movement sev- 
eral times with the right hand, then do the same with the left. Repeat 
making one circle less with each hand, and continue, making one less 
each time, until the movement is done once with each hand. Then 
count the circles and proceed, counting as directed. 

When the movements and circles have been mastered sufficiently 
well to allow it. the interest in the exercise will be increased by ar- 
ranging a routine of movements so as to have them in groups, with 
all the changes which are in them, in the order in which they should 
come, with th^ easy movements first and the most difficult last. 

To become an artistic and graceful performer, it is necessary to do 
every movement in perfect time and with the greatest precision thus 
combining grace and elegance. If the club is to be held perpendicular 
let it be exactly so ; if horizontal exactly horizontal Describe all the 
circles and sweeps squarely to the side or front, and do not swing too 
fast. Where you can have the benefit of a large mirror, it will be a 
valuable assistance in exhibiting defects and correcting awkwardness, 
and it will also assist in developing countless variations and move- 
ments. The latter affording an ample field for ingenuity and skill in 
combination, and with patience and perseverance, the pupil will soon 
become the master of a beautiful and beneficial accomplishment.

DOUBLE BENT-ARM MOVEMENT. Fig. 27. 

As an illustration of simplicity of the double movements the figure 
here shown will be a fair example. The movement shown is a com- 
bination of the inner and outer bent-arm circles. By crossing the clubs 
above the head a Cross movement is made. By swinging one in ad- 
vance of the other a Reverse movement is executed and by passing them 
both in the same direction a Parallel movement is the result. 



EXTENDED-ARM CIRCLES. FiG.28. 
The figure illustrates the manner of doing these cirlces with two 
clubs. Swing the clubs 1st. Outside of the arms. 2nd. Inside. 3rd. to 
the Right of both. 4th. to the Left. Either Forward or Backward. 
They can be done Parallel, Cross, Follow or Reverse, in Front and at 
Ihe Side, 



eLUB«eWXK6tlf&. 




PARALLEL MOVEMENT. Fig. 29. 

This movement is a combination of the Inner and Outer circles, 
the clubs moving parallel for a complete circle. 

It is of great importance to throughly understand that the descrip- 
tions of double movements are not onl^^ for the Straight-arm circles, 
but also for every circle described in the Single circles. They can all 
be done in the ways described, and any two or more eau be combined. 



CLVB-SWINQINQ, 




FOLLOW MOVEMENT. Pig. 30, 

This movement is tlie same combination as the Parallel, the club* 
following each other like the arms of a windmill, retaining the same 
relative position for a complete circle. 

A back circle either upper or lower must be added to allow the clubs 
to pass each other.

DOUBLE EXTENSION MOVEMENT. Fig. 31. 

The double Extension is a combination of half a Straight and half a 
Bent Arm circle, and can be done Parallel, Cross, Reverse or Follow, 
it can also be combined with any of the circles by doing the Extension 
with one club and the circle with the other, arranging the count, to 
allow the clubs to pass each other without breaking the time. 

These combinations of half circles should receive due attention as 
it is the only way to reverse from Right to Left or to change from one 
movement to another without breaking the time.

CROSS MOVEMENTS, INNER OR Ot xER, FiG. 32. 

For the Inner Cross-circles, start by crossing the arms or clubs 
at the top of the circle and separating them at the bottom, coming 
together and crossing as before at the top. 

Foe the Outer Cross-circle, start by separating the arms or clubs 
at the top and crossing them at the bottom. 

Combined with the Lower Back or Front circles this movement 
becomes very pretty.

INNER REVERSE MOVEMENT, Fig. 33. 

The Inner Reverse movement is the Inner Straight and Bent- Arm 
circles combined, the arms or clubs crossing and separating at the 
sides of the circle. Start by swinging one half of a circle with one 
ha^id before moving the other, then move both toward each other pass- 
ing at the outermost part of the circle, repassing at the opposite side. 

To combine the Straight and Bent-Arm circles, as in the figure, 
start both clubs in the opposite directions at the same time, make the 
rit(hthand club describe a complete Inner Bent- Arm circle, while the 
left describe an Inner Straight- Arm circle, the clubs regaining the 
starting position together. Then repeat, making the left hand club 
describe the Bent- Arm circle and the right the Straight-Arm circle.

OUTEE EEVERSE MOVEMENT. I'm. 34. 

The Outer Reverse movement is the Outer Straight and Bent-Arm

sides of the circles. Start by swinging one half of a circle with one 
hand before moving the other, then move both toward each other 
passing at the outermost part of the circle, repassing at the opposite 
side. 

To combine the Straight and Bent-Arm circles, as in the figure, 
start both clubs in opposite directions at the same time, make the 
right hand club describe a complete Outer Bent-Arm circle, while the 
left describes an Outer Straight- Arm circle, the clubs regaining the 
starting position together. Then repeat, making the left hand club 
describe the Bent-Arm circle and the right the Straight-Arm circle.

Turn the body from sid* "o side to assist the movement of the 
arms. 



DUMB BELL EXERCISE. 



The dumb bell has been used in this country so generally that it 
has come to be regarded as indispensable to proper development. 

Its weight and substance are apparent on a casual inspection but 
its wonderful influence on all branches of training is only fully un- 
derstood by the initiated. 

Its exercises give fair employment to all parts of the body and to 
both sides equally. 

If the muscles in the left side and arm of the beginner are much 
weaker than the others, as is almost invariably the case, additional 
attention to the left hand exercises will soon equalise matters. 

In purchasing dumb bells the same precautions should be taken 
as advised for Indian clubs. Except the beginner is unusually ro- 
bust he cannot get them too light. They may be replaced by heavier 
ones as he progresses in expertness and strength. 

The modern wooden bells are more generally recommended than 
metal ones as they are not so chilly to the touch or noisy in con- 
tact with each other or on the floor. 

The various positions and movements in which the bells may be 
used are directly and powerfully conducive to erectness of carriage 
and freedom of limb. 

In exercising, keep the head up, and breathe deep and full, allowing 
the chest to expand to the utmost. The time to take a full breath 
is when the muscles are relaxed. 

The only drawback to the universal popularity and adoption of 
dumb bells as a means of exercise confronts almost every be- 
ginner, not otily in the privacy of his room but in the majority of 
gymnasiums where the instructor is not thoroughly conversant with 
the rudiments. 

The writer can recall numberless instances, where a youth started 
practicing with dumb bells at home or in some slovenly conducted 
gymnasium. The method, or, rather, lack of method, was to plug 
away with rapidly waning energy for a couple of weeks at a few un- 
couth motions he had either conceived or heard were the proper 
thing. At this stage the wearisome monotony of the daily grind 



DUMB BELTi EXEBOISE. II3 

beoame unbearable and he dropped the bella permanently in disen- 
chanted disgust. 

This difficulty can be easily avoided by beginning properly with 
the simplest movements. The first few of these thoroughly mas- 
tered and committed to memory lead him on by agreeable grada- 
tions into the more complicated motions, and his enthusiasm de- 
velops in proportion with his muscles. 

To lay the foundation for a proper course of exercises effectively 
undivided attention should first be given to the practice of a series 
of motions without the bells. They are almost indispensable to a 
thorough enjoyment of the bell exercises at a later stage and are 
besides very attractive and beneficial in themselves. 

Indeed so permanent is their fascination, that while empty headed 
and callow youths ignore them as childish, accomplished gymnasts 
and muscular prodigies such as Prof. George Goldie, New York Ath- 
letic Club, and President W. B. Curtis, of the Metropolitan Associa- 
tion, rarely turn out to their daily avocations without going through 
the whole series with undimmed enthusiasm and belief in their 
efficacy. 

They are here appended in such simplified form that the point 
may be taken at a glance. 

Marginal key words are given in italics to catch the eye and 
assist the memory. 

Place the book open at this page on a rest within range of your 
eyes, take a mark on the floor or carpet as a guide line and go ahead. 

If you have a roommate or convenient companion of similar tastes, 
you might coach each other in turn from the book and establish a 
mutual benefit association on which you can dra,w for life.

BELL EXERCISES. 

Having become thoroughly familiarised with the foregoing, take 
your dumb bells, place them on the line and come to attention with 
your toes touching them. 

EXEECISE I. 

Step to the rear. — As in first practice. 

Left foot forward. — Make a half face to the right and step to the 
front with the left foot as in first practice, the left hand grasping the 
thigh just above the knee as the foot comes to the ground, the right 
arm extended in the line of the right leg.

remaining In position. 

Up. — Kaise the bell above the shoulder bending the arm during 
the ascent to the full extension of the arm leaning strongly on the 
left knee and pressing the cheat to the front during the ascent of 
the bell. 

In this position the left leg to the knee and the left arm should 
form one continuous line from foot to shoulder. 

Down. — Lower the bell, replace it on the line and recover as in 
first practice. 

Right foot forward. — As in first practice and go through previous 
motion with bell in left hand and recover. 

EXERCISE II. 

Left foot forward. — As before. 

Both hands. — Seize a bell in each hand, arms passing on either 
Bide of the knee. 

Up. — Raise the bells above the shoulders, bending the arms dur- 
ing the ascent to their full extension, keeping the left knee bent and 
pressing the chest to the front during the ascent of the bells. 

Doivn. —Bring the bells straight down by the sides, replace them 
on the mark and recover. 

Right foot forward. — And repeat previous motions. 

EXEECISE III. 

Left foot forward. — As before. 

Recovering right hand,— Seize bell in right hand. 



Il6 DUMB BELL EXBRCISB. 

Up.— "Recover and at same time elevate the bell above the shouldei 
to full extension of the arm. 

Left foot forward.— Step to the front with the left foot, retaining 
the bell at the elevation above the shoulder and pressing the chest 
to the front. 

Down. — As before, then advance right foot forward and repeat 
previous motions. 

EXEBCISE IV. 

Left foot forward. — As before. 

Recovering both hands. — Seize the bells as in exercise II. 
Up. — Recover and at same time raise both bells above the shoul- 
ders to full extension of arms. 
Left foot forward. — As before, retaining bells at the elevation. 
Dovm. — As before, and recover. 
Right foot forward. — As before, and repeat preyious motions. 

EXEBCISE V. 

Step to the front. — As In first practice. 

Astride. — As in first practice. 

Up and down, ready. — As in first practice, stoop from the waist 
and seize the bells. 

Up and down, up. — The action and position of the ascent as in first 
practice, carrying the bells above the shoulders. 

Doti)n.— Lower the bells, letting them swing to the rear between 
the legs. 

Halt. — Replace the bells on the mark and resume the position of 
attention. 

Step to the rear.—ks before. 

As yon advance in proficiency and strength, either or all of the 
foregoing exercises may be repeated up to six times. Always begin 
and end. however, with the performance of those moderate and gen- 
tle movements which nearest approach the ordinary motions of 
your every day life. Abruptness in beginning or ending severe ex- 
ercise is injurious. 

A SIMPLER SEEIES. 

For any on© whose lower limbs are suflficiently exercised in his 
daily avocations, the following exercises are generally considered 
a'lequate. They have not the grace, attractiveness and variety of 
the preceding ones. 

With busy men, however, they are liliely to continue more popu- 
lar as they occupy less time &ud attention. 



DUMB BBLIi EXERCISE. 117 

Each motion described Is illustrated by a cut, which makes it 
clear to the veriest novice. 

Peisons in going through these exercises should remember that 
by turning the hands they are exercising the muscles of the arm 
and shoulder differently, and that when the arm is raised its upper- 
most muscles are doing the work. 

It would be also well to glance first, over the preliminary instruc- 
tions for the other exercises, as to attitude and breathing. 

Fig. 1. Hold the bells at the side with the arms pendant. Draw 
the bells up to the arm pits, turning the wrist as far in as possible. 
Repeat this and all other movements until fatigued. 

Pig. 2. Hold the arms horizontally in front, pass them back on a 
line with the shoulders as far as possible, crossing the arms in 
returning. 

Fig. 3. Raise the bell from the pendant position to a line with 
the shoulders, turn the palm out and extend the arm vertically. 
Reverse the movement, resuming the first position. 

Fig. 4. Keep the arms straight and swing the bells over the head 
and as far back as possible, then rererse the direction and swing 
the arms down past the sides and up behind the back. 

Fig. 5. Hold the arms at the side, swing the bells out and up strik- 
ing them together over the head. Vary the movement by swinging 
one bell up and the other down. 

Fig. 6. Stand erect, holdinsr the bells at the chest. Step out to 
the side as far as possible, at the same time extending the arms 
horizontally. Regain the first positi-in and repeat the movement 
m the opposite side. Vary the movement by stepping to the front 
';nd rear. 

Fig. 7. Stand with the legs well spread, extend the arms verti- 
cally, bend back as far as possible, then swing the bells down and 
as far between the legs as possible and up again. 

Fig. 8. Bend the legs and keep the back straight, touch the bells 
to the ttoor, straighten up and extend the arms high above the head 
standing on tip toe. 

Fig. 9. Stand with the arms extended over the head, bend grad- 
ually down, as far as you can, keeping the arms extended, then 
slowly resume the upright pobition and bend to the other side in 
the same manner.

SPECIAL EXEECISES. 

To improve the d/ceps.— Stand erect with arms well into sldetimd 
feet planted firmly about nine inches apart. 

Curl dumb bells until finger nails come in contact with front of 
shoulder. Bring the finger nails towards you turning the hands in- 
ward as you raise the bell above elbow. You can vary this motion in 
several ways which will suggest themselves after a few experiments. 

Muscles hack of arm and shoulders. — Stand with body erect, step 
forward with each foot in turn and pass the bells as far as you can 
stretch behind you with backs of hands upward. You can vary this 
motion also. Another method is to stretch face downwards on a 
mat or form and pass the bells backward in same manner. 

Forearms.— Press elbows to side and bring up lower arms at right 
angles to body. Then curl the hands with and without the bells 
without bringing the elbow or any muscle above it into play. Con- 
tinue until you feel the muscles sufficiently tested. 

Chest development.— The method most generally advocated for im- 
proving the chest muscles is to stretch on your bacli on a rug or 
form. 1. Pick up bells and push them up vertically at right angles 
with the body, the bells touching. Then open the arms quietly and 
gradually drop the hands until back of them touches the floor on 
each side. 

2. Lower the arms from their vertical position until the ends of 
the bells touch the floor as far directly behind your head as you 
can reach. 

Then bring the hands back slowly to their vertical position over 
the chest. This exercise may be varied by letting the hands drop 
forward until the ends of the bells touch the floor on each side 
close to the hips. 

The hands may alternate in this movement in various ways. 

3. Extend arms at full length behind head with backs of hand-^i 
resting on floor. Then lift sufiQciently to clear the arms and de- 
scribe a downward semi-circle with each until the bells touch the 
hips. Kepeat in moderation. 

4. Starting from previous position, describe a complete circle 
with each hand, reversing the course of the bells at intervals. 

5. Let one arm touch the floor, fully extended at right angles with 
body ; then extend the other arm across the body in same direc- 
tion as far as possible, without turning off back. Altei-nat* th^ 
arms frequently, -

standard Policy 



A Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a 
Manufacturer to long mcuntcun a Standard Qyality. 

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a 
profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions 
of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list 
price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesinan, when booking his orders, to figure out 
attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are 
absolutely essential; but their real purposewill have been served when the 
manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured 
his order from the retailer. ^ 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who 
does not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading 
but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and 
grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts," 
which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer 
and the jobber are assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices 
to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably 
leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are 
practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists 
on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this 
demand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheap- 
ening and degrading of the quality of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 16 years ago, in 1899, 
A. G. Spalding ^ Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic 
Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as ** The Spalding 
Policy." 

"The Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding 
Goods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding 
Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is 
assured a fair and legitimate profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the 
consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition. 

"The Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the 
users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways : 

First— The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods. 

Second.— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in 
purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required 
in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their 
respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessary 
quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Quality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply 
consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices — neither more nor less — the same 
prices that similar goods are sold for in our Newr York, Chicago and other stores. 

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated 
exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

This briefly, is "The Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful 
operatioii for the past 1 6 years, and will be indefinitely continued. 

in other words, "The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal" for everybody.

standard Quality 



An article that is universally given the appellation "Standard" is thereby 
conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar 
nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit 
of currency, because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, 
and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp 
thereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting and 
other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service 
Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a 
great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against 
counterfeit products — without the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public 
Opinion" to assist them. 

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection" against misrepresentation and 
"inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the 
** Manufacturer." 

A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Qyality," for 
thirty-nine years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout 
the world as a Guarantee of Qyality as dependable in their field as the 
U. S. Currency is in its field. 

The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and 
maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi- 
ous as is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency, 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other 
consumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade- 
Mark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic 
Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by 
insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which 
they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining 
Standard Qyality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual. 

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of 
" inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold 
and a guarantee to protect must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac- 
turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Qyality 
depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than 
povarty in quality — and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Qyality.
